I HOLDER FOP TOILET-PAPER.

Specification of Letters Eatent.

Application filed October 30, 1913. Serial No. 798,257.

This invention relates to a holder more particularly adapted for the reception of a pad of interfolded sheets of toilet paper, the construction being such that the pad may be readily slipped into the holder, and that upon the withdrawal of any one sheet, the edge of the next sheet will be promptly presented for subsequent withdrawal.

The accompanying drawing represents a vertical cross section of a toilet paper holder embodying my invention.

The holder is formed of a single piece of material and is provided with a back having an inwardly projecting lower section 9 and a rearwardly sloping upper section 9 From the top of this upper section there extends a forwardly inclined upper front section a, the lower edge of which is turned inwardly to form a lip e. From the lower end of section 9, there extends a forwardly'inclined bottom 1, and from the'front end of this bottom, there extends a forwardly inclined front section It. The upper edge of this lower front section is likewise turned inwardly to form a lip d, which is so spaced from the lip e of upper front section a, as to form a joint ingress and egress opening 2' therebetween. The correlation of the parts is such that the inwardly projecting section 9 of the back, faces opening 6 and forms a straight back rest for the paper pad. The holder is so constructed that it forms a pocket within which the paper pad is adapted to be housed in a flat or unbent condition, so that in this way, the interfolded sheets forming said pad are not subjected to any pressure and will thus be consecutively detached from each other during operation in an easy and positive manner.

In order to permit the front sheet of the pad to be always readily accessible, the pad is sustained within the holder in an inclinedposition, it resting with its lower front edge against the bottom'of the lower front section h, while it rests near its upper end upon the lower horizontal edge of upper front section a.

The upper horizontal edge d of lower front section It, is located a distance in advance of the pad or of a plane drawn from edge e to the front corner of bottom f. The

, consequence is that edge 03 will exercise no toward and over said edge, so that the latter constitutes a stripper.

In use the pad of toilet paper is slightly bent and is thus passed through opening 21 into the angular pocket formed below lip e between the front of the holder and the inclined back 9, as shown by dotted lines b. After the pad has cleared the lips e, d, it will straighten out against back section 9 to assume its normal undistorted or flat shape and will in this condition besupported upon the base 7, (full lines 0). When now the front sheet is Withdrawn, of the next interfolded sheet will be exposed, the lips serving to reduce the contact faces of the front sheet with the holder so that in this way the removal of the sheets is facilitated.

It will be seen that my holder is of simple construction, that it is sanitary, and that it insures a positive presentation of the successive sheets to the operator.

I claim:

1. A holder for an interfolded pad of toilet paper provided with a back section, a lower front section, an upper front section, a common horizontal ingress and egress slot intermediate the lower and upper front sections, and a pocket between the front sections and the back section, the pad being adapted to be housed within said pocket in an unbent condition and to rest against the lower horizontal edge of the upper front section.
